Part 1: Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (–1, –4) and (2, 5) in point-slope form. Part 2: Using complete sentences, explain whether or not it matters which point is used in the final answer. Also explain why you chose the point you did.

Well you need to find the slope first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And how would I do that :\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The eqation of a line is always of the form, y=mx+c, where m is your slope. you need the slope first in this case, adn you can find that by \[\frac{ y2-y1 }{ x2-x1}\]
